Application med February a 1922. y 'serial iro. 534,491. y

coin cases and y.more particularly to those of small compact size to beconveniently carried in the users pocket, and the principal object ofthe invention is to provide an extremely simple and inexpensive, yet ahighly desirable coin carrying device by means of which a number ofcoins of the same denomination may be conveniently carried anddischarged one 4at a time for use, simply by turning a disk or like formof coin delivery device. e

In the preferred form of my invention,

f a relatively thick disk is iixedly mounted in a shallow casing and isformed with a plurality of openings to contain stacks 4of coins,

the coin-delivery disk being interposed between the other disk or coinmagazine and the bottom of the casing andhaving its edge accessible at acut-away portion of the casing, so that it may readily be turned,another object of the invention being to provide novel means for holdingthis disk against accidental rotation.

In order that the magazine may be conveniently lled with coins, thecasing is pref,- erably provided with a cover platey having an openingadapted to be successively registered with the openings of the magazinedisk, and a further aim of theinvention is to provide a single devicecarriedby the casing for holding this cover plate andl the coin deliverydisk against turning except l when required.

With the foregoing and minor objects in view, the invention resides-inthe novel subject matter hereinafter described` and claimed, thedescriptive matter being supplemented by the accompanying drawing.

Figure l is a perspective viewof a coin carrier constructed inaccordance with my invention` Figures 2 and 3 are transverse sectionalviews as indicated by lines 2 2 and 3 3 respectively of Fig. l.

l'Figure 4 is a 'disassembled yperspective View showing the casing, thecoin delivery disk, the magazine disk and the vcover plate injuxtaposition. y y i f Fk'gurey 5 is'an edge view showingadifferent formof lcover plate whichv may loev 1 used in lieu of the plate abovereferred to.

In the drawings above briefly described,

the numeral 1 designates a shallow casing which is ofsubstantiallycircular form although it is partially rcut away asindicated at 2, for apurpose to appear. Within the casing l is a comparatively thick magazinediskv having a plurality of vertical open` ings 4 to receive stacks ofcoins. The disk 3 is spaced above the bottom of thecasing 1 a distanceequal tothe thickness'of lone ofthe coins tobecontainedby the openings 4and this disk lis secured in this position by any suitable means such asscrews passing through the wall ofthe casing intosaid disk. The space'between` the disk `3 and the bottomcf the casing is occupied by acoinidelivery disk 6 having aplura-lity of openings Tinto' which thecoins are adapted ltodrop lone at va time fromthe openings 4, so thatwhen said delivery disk ,is turned tothe vproper extent, va coinwilli'be moved to the cut-away portion 2 of the casing and droppedtherethrough', The .edge` -of the disk 6 is suitably roughened asindicated at 8 andy a portion 'ofthe magazine disk is preferably cutawayas indicated at 9 at the cut-away portion of the casing, in orderthat said roughened edge may be more accessible for turning the disk.

Resting rotatably upon the edge of the casing l and the magazine disk 3,isa-cover plate 10l which is held in place by a central bolt or .otherVfastener 11 which extendsy through the disk, through the ycasing bottom,and through the. intervening parts. The cover plate 10 is forniedwith acoin entrance opening 12 which normally overlies an imperforate portionofthe magazine disk 3 as shown in Fig. 3, but by turningthe plate 10,the opening l2 may be successively alined with the yopenings 4,so thatthe latter maybe lledwith coins.

In order tohold the coin delivery disk 6 and the cover ,plate 10 againstaccidental' ro'- tation, I Vprovide any suitable means such as a singleU-shaped spring metal clip 1 3 which is carried by the ycasing and is bypreference pivoted thereto as indicated at 14. When this clip is swungoutwardly from the positiongshown infliiglVv both` disks are freetokrotate but when the clip is in operative position, said disks are'Yheld against accidental turning.

ln Fig. I have .illustrated a slightly diliier'ent form of construction,in, that `the cover plate a is threadediupon,theeasing l instead ofbeing mounted inthe manner previously described. lnplace ofAthisythreaded Connection, it will lbe.understoiid that the i'iange ofthe Cover plateeould `merely have a frictiona'l enga-gement Withftlieeasing.4 AIn faetany suitablecoyer may -be used in connection with the`fll'eatures, ,oilf' .novelty above described.
